NHS Trust Investigation Expands to Over 200 Cases of Alleged Medical Negligence
A police investigation into University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust has revealed that the number of cases under scrutiny for preventable deaths and injuries has more than doubled to over 200. Allegations of medical negligence surfaced after whistleblowers reported concerns about care in neurosurgery and general surgery departments. High-profile incidents involving surgeons Marc Lamah and Carl Hardwidge are central to the investigation, as families allege negligence resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. The investigation continues as police assess potential charges of gross negligence and corporate manslaughter.
